Bring Them Advent Calendars to India! These are the ones I am eyeing!

Ever since I have started watching YouTube videos, I have remembered one thing distinctly this time of the year, common to all I follow there.... it makes me dream about them constantly, silently hope each time that this will be the year they finally come to India...even wish that I leave the country and settle in the UK somewhere :DI am talking about ADVENT CALENDARS! Yes you heard me right...I have spent many Christmases drooling over them and praying desperately to angels above to give me the magical power or teleportation if they cannot bring them here. I love beauty and lifestyle advent calendars. No, I haven't had any experiences with them so far, but I just know that I LOVE them!

Every year I manage to lust over most of them, spend hours looking at unboxing videos and have an expression of a salivating dog throughout. How I wish these come to India someday...soon. I accept that Christmas isn't a huge in our country, but hey we still like celebrating it. Or perhaps, the brands can do one for Diwali? ;)Anyway, I will stop rambling and just share on which ones I lust for - the ones that have been consistent every year in my wishlist. Take a look! 1) Charlotte TilburyI have just tired her Micropowder so far but I know I will love every one of her products! There is something magical about them and how much I wish she brings them to India!

2) LoccitaneThis year they have 24 products in the kit - you get to try their skin, hair and body products and pick out your favourites.

3) DiptyqueAn absolute luxury calendar, this one usually has a good mix of their votive candles and travel sized perfumes. You are your house are sure to smell heavenly with this one!

4) BenefitI am guilty of standing at the Benefit counter for a good 10 minutes every time I am at Sephora. There are so many products I want to try! The only problem? The products are too pricey and I do not know which ones would truly work for me. See, now you know why this one is on my list!

5) Liberty Firstly, they do one of the best advent calendar packaging...just look at how beautiful the box is! You get a lavish mix of brands, so a lot to test out from this one!

6) Selfridges L'OrealA good mix to try different brands that come under the L'Oreal banner - Lancome, Kiehls, Urban Decay, YSL. This advent calendar encompasses them all

7) ZoellaI am a huge stationery addict. So this one shouldn't come as a surprise. Plus I loved her lifestyle collection this time. This one has scented candles, baking goodies, accessories and of course, stationery.

8) ClarinsNow Clarins is a brand that I have not tired extensively, but whatever I have tried so far, I love (Facial treatment oil, Lip oil, Beauty flash balm, makeup remover). This would be such a good opportunity to test out more of their products!

9) KiehlsI love their skincare products. I have not been disappointed with any of the ones I have tried so far and this is the perfect way to try out more!

10) Jo MaloneI was super excited when they finally launched in India! I haven't sniffed their fragrances yet, but they have such lovely variants that I am sure to like one... or many! This one is filled with cute travel sized fragrance bottles and body creams. This one sure would be fun!

11) Estee Lauder There is a common one from many of the Estee Lauder companies this year - Bobbi Brown, MAC, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Origins, Aveda, Bumble and Bumble, Smashbox, GlamGlow, Michael Kors. You get 25 products totally and the box looks absolutely pretty too.

And as if 11 were not enough, I also tend to like these:** Special Mentions - The Body Shop Asos Marks & Spencer Lush BootsCan you imagine how lovely it will be opening up little treats every morning all the way till Christmas? Not only are these advent calendars a good deal for your money, they are also great to sample of many products from different brands!With these advent calendars around...who needs chocolates or diamonds? Okay, on second thoughts... maybe we do need diamonds after all :P

What do you think about Advent Calendars? Are you crazy about them too? If yes, let me know and maybe we can raise a request! :D Can we please have these lovely treats in India too?
